\u201cDemocracy of the Dead\u201d and \u201cDemocracy of the Alive\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Visual Culture Research Center (44 Hlybochytska Street (1st floor), Kyiv)<\/em><\/p>\n

Visual Culture Research Center<\/strong> and Political Critique<\/strong> invite you to the lectures by Oleg Aronson and Helen Petrovsky, which will take place on Saturday, May 30, at 19:00.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Democracy is usually understood as a form of political rule. However, even in such terms it is quite unstable, contradictory and looks rather like a social utopia than effective political mechanism. Moreover, democratic rhetoric, which refers to the values of liberty, equality, and justice, became a part of contemporary politics, a way of its self-representation. Meanwhile, we can conceive democracy in a different way \u2013 by pointing to some of its manifestations, which are resistant to politics and even incompatible with it. Oleg Aronson and Helen Pertovsky will address these issues in their short lectures \u2013 \u201cDemocracy of the Dead\u201d (about the relation of democracy to war and formation of mass society) and \u201cDemocracy of the Alive\u201d (about the logic of multitude, in which action confronts political imagination).<\/p>\n

Oleg Aronson<\/strong> is an art historian, film and media theorist, philosopher. He is a fellow researcher at the Institute of Philosophy (Russian Academy of Sciences).<\/p>\n

Helen Petrovsky<\/strong> is a philosopher, anthropologist, cultural theorist. She is editor-in-chief of \u201cSiniy Divan\u201d magazine.<\/p>\n

Lectures will take place at Visual Culture Research Center within the frameworks of the exhibition \u201cSome Say You Can Find Happiness There\u201d<\/strong> and \u201cExploitation of the Imaginary\u201d<\/strong> project (May 20 \u2013 June 15, 2015).<\/p>\n

Admission is free<\/strong><\/p>\n
